If you’ve ever found yourself asking...

“Do they like me… or the version of me I’m performing?”

You’re not alone.

Belonging isn’t about being the “easiest” version of yourself. It’s not about being quieter, lighter, more agreeable, more organized, or more put-together.

It’s about being YOU..unedited, unpolished, and still worthy.

Here’s your permission to stop shape-shifting for connection.
The right people will meet you where you are.❤

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “Who the hell let me be in charge of these tiny humans?!”, you’re NOT alone.

In episode 3, we’re talking about something that sooo many moms quietly carry, but rarely name out loud: imposter syndrome. It’s that voice that whispers you’re not doing enough, you’re not patient enough, and you’re not “good” enough.

The truth is, most of us are just trying to keep it together, and honestly, we’re doing the best we can! Imposter syndrome often shows up during transitions. It thrives in the unknown and feeds off comparison - especially in our social-media-driven world.

The thing about motherhood though? It’s NOT a performance review, and it’s not something you can “ace”. You grow through it, one imperfect day at a time!

If you find yourself struggling with imposter syndrome, I want to encourage you to find evidence of your “enoughness” in the small (but very real) moments of your life. Ultimately, a present mom will always beat a perfect one, and you ARE enough as you are!

Let’s talk about something most of us are deeply familiar with, but have a hard time naming: the mental load of parenthood.

It’s that constant “hum” in your brain - the never-ending to-do list of appointments, permission slips, groceries, school lunches, and sooo much more. It’s not just the physical tasks - it’s the THINKING about the tasks.

You’re not imagining it - that invisible project management role is REAL, and it’s freaking exhausting!

Over time, this load builds up from the decision fatigue, irritability, and rage that comes from the littlest things. It’s not that your partner doesn’t care - it’s that many of us were socialized to anticipate everyone’s needs, hold everything together, and never let anyone down.

If you’re thinking “If I don’t do it, it won’t get done”, I get it. I’ve been there too.
This invisible mental load you’re walking around and carrying isn’t something we should “just be grateful for” (sorry, society) - it’s a LOT. You’re human, so it’s okay to set it down for a bit, and take a well-deserved break!

This Thanksgiving, my heart is especially full.

To everyone who has listened to the podcast, shared an episode with a friend, or messaged me to say something resonated...thank you. Your presence and your trust mean more than you know.

To my clients: working alongside you is an honor. Thank you for showing up with honesty, vulnerability, humor, and heart. Watching your growth is one of the greatest gifts of my work.

And to my dear friends and colleagues: thank you for creating a space where real conversations, imperfect moments, and genuine connection can exist. I’m grateful every single day for the memories we share and the support we give each other.

Wishing you a warm, grounded, and gentle Thanksgiving. 🤍

Motherhood changes EVERYTHING, but not *just* in the obvious ways.

It’s not only about the baby coming home, or the routines that shift. It’s about the invisible transitions that shake us up from the inside out.

As women, we pour so much love into our babies, but somewhere along the way, we start to wonder, “Who the hell am I now?”

That identity shift is sooo real, and it’s something so many moms experience, but rarely talk about. But you know what? We’re NOT broken - we’re becoming!

Motherhood is painted as this blissful, picture-perfect season of joy. The truth though? It’s both beautiful AND incredibly hard. Everything shifts, and you’re continuing to figure out this new version of yourself in this messy “middle” stage.

I hope this episode reminds you that you can adore motherhood and not enjoy every moment. After all, motherhood isn’t about erasing who you were - it’s about expanding who you are!

Motherhood was always something I looked forward to. I dreamed about it, romanticized it, and thought I knew exactly what to expect.

But…when it actually happened, it was NOTHING like the picture I had in my head. I loved my baby so much, but I didn’t recognize myself anymore. I soon had two kids under two, and outwardly, I probably looked fine. On the inside though? I was drowning.

As a mental health professional, I knew the signs of anxiety and depression, yet no one ever asked how I was really doing. I wasn’t offered a screening or support, and I convinced myself I just needed to “try harder” or maybe I wasn’t really cut out for motherhood afterall.

That experience cracked something open in me. It’s what led me to the work I do today - supporting women through the emotional earthquake that is motherhood. We deserve to talk honestly about what we’re feeling, and the messy, complicated emotions that come with being a parent.

I created Reproductively Speaking so we DO have a space for the very real, unfiltered conversations about motherhood, identity, and mental health. I definitely don’t have it all figured out, but I’m here to walk with you. You’re NOT on this journey alone, friend!

I’ve been sitting on this for way too long... held back by self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and every “who am I to do this?” thought you can imagine. But today, I’m choosing courage.

Because here’s the funny part… there are already four episodes out in the universe. So today, I’m calling this the official launch. 🎉

I’m looking forward to sitting alone with the microphone, talking about real stuff that matters… and also getting the chance to interview and learn from some truly amazing individuals along the way.

If even one person listens and feels seen, supported, or inspired—then every fear was worth it. 🎙️❤️

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to have a village.

At my cousin’s daughter’s birthday party today, I couldn’t stop noticing how deeply people show up for each other in their circle — for every big and small moment.

It’s a reminder that support doesn’t always look grand or complicated.
Sometimes it’s just people who notice. Who show up. Who make space.

✨ Here’s to the ones who hold babies, bring casseroles, clean kitchens, and cheer us on when we can’t see how far we’ve come.

What does your village look like?
Or what kind of support do you wish was part of it?

✨ World Su***de Prevention Day ✨

Suicidal thoughts don’t always mean someone wants to die.
For me, they meant I didn’t want to feel what I was feeling anymore.

Shame told me I was being dramatic. Silence told me to keep it to myself.

But what I’ve learned is this: suicidal ideation was a part of me. A part that wanted relief from emotions that felt too big to carry.

➡️ It wasn’t about death.
➡️ It was about escape.
➡️ About wanting the pain to stop.

If you’ve ever felt this too... you’re not broken, and you’re not alone.

Today is about breaking the silence. Talking about suicidal ideation helps lift the shame and makes space for compassion, support, and healing.

If you or someone you love is in crisis, please know support exists.
Dial 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

You don’t have to carry this alone. 💚

Leave it to Mother to give us all a new daily affirmation that we will be repeating for eternity. 🖤

Too often, we give away our time and attention without asking ourselves if it’s worth the cost. Every “yes” you say to something that drains you is also a “no” to the things that could nourish you.

Your energy is precious currency!

And just like with finances, it matters where you spend it. You wouldn’t invest in a business you knew was failing, so why invest in relationships, habits, or environments that constantly take without giving back?

🖤Protect it.
🖤Spend it where there’s reciprocity.
🖤Invest it in what will grow you.

At the end of the day, what you spend your energy on becomes your life. Choose with intention!

✨ Today, ask yourself: Is this worth my energy?✨
